Spreading Festive Joy






At Avanta Care we believe it's important to continue to make a difference across the local community.

Our head office team wanted to spread some festive joy to some very worthy causes over the Christmas period:

Mission Christmas is a campaign run by Radio Aire on behalf of the children’s charity Cash for Kids, to provide gifts for vulnerable children across Leeds and West Yorkshire. Last year Mission Christmas helped over 22,140 children. With poverty numbers steadily rising across the country, Mission Christmas aims to show these children that people care and want to make a difference to their lives.

Lisa Sullivan, the Mission Christmas Manager gave the following statement:

“Thank you so much for supporting Radio Aire’s Cash for Kids Mission Christmas 2016 and donating an amazing £5,000 - we are truly overwhelmed with your support. We really do appreciate your fantastic hard work and generosity in helping support local children, who are at risk of waking up to nothing on Christmas Morning. Thank you for helping Cash for Kids keep the Christmas dream alive. Together we can make such a difference to local deprived children within Leeds & West Yorkshire. Everyone here at Radio Aire’s Cash for Kids wish you a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.”

As well as providing a luxury hamper for each of our domiciliary care service users, we have also donated to each of the following nationwide and international charities:
  • Age UK
  • Alzheimer’s Society
  • Guide dogs for the Blind
  • British Red Cross
  • Unicef
  • Oxfam
"At this time of year we tend to focus on our own family and friends and enjoying ourselves. We wanted to spare a thought for those who aren’t as fortunate or who have nothing to look forward to on what should be a very special day" said Craig Roberts, Avanta Care Business Development Manager. "We wish all our clients, candidates and friends a very, Merry Christmas."
